Annual production was quantified for age-1 and age-2 larvae of the dobsonfly (Corydalus cornutus) in the New River, West Virginia, between Bluestone Dam and Sandstone Falls. This population had a two-year life cycle, which, when compared to other reported life cycle patterns, suggested that larval growth and voltinism is governed by latitudinal temperature effects. The annual production of ages-1 and -2 larvae in the New River was about 3.1 g live weight m-2 (6.0 g m-'in riffles; 0.3 g . m-2 .in pools). Previously reported annual harvest of such larvae by commercial bait catchers and anglers was equivalent to about 8% of this production.
